Proposed BS in Biology

Agenda item:

USF Board of Trustees

June 6, 2013

Issue: Bachelor of Science in Biology, CIP 26.0101

________________________________________________________________________

Proposed action: Approve implementation of the Bachelor of Science in Biology at USF Sarasota-Manatee

CIP Code 26.0101

_________________________________________________________________________

Background information:

The University of South Florida Sarasota-Manatee (USFSM) proposes a new Bachelor of Science (B.S.)

degree in Biology at the undergraduate level. The emphasis of this degree will be a broad preparation in

general biology that balances organismal and ecosystem level content with cellular and molecular content. We

expect students seeking a strong foundation to prepare for graduate school as well as those seeking careers in

the health professions (MD, DDS, DVM, etc.) will pursue this degree.

120 credit hours are required to graduate with the B.S. in Biology including 36 hours of required general

education (general education courses in science and math are also biology prerequisites), 33 credit hours of

biology prerequisites, 30 credits hours of upper-level biology core courses, 12 credit hours (minimum) of

biology upper-level electives, and 6 hours of upper-level institutional required exit courses.

By offering this degree, USFSM will provide students in our local area and throughout the state increased

access to a STEM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics) degree that will prepare them for work in

the growing life sciences, health professions, and biotechnology industries in Florida and nationwide.

Currently, public institutions in the local area do not offer a B.S. degree in Biology. Therefore, this degree will

greatly benefit place-bound learners wishing to pursue biology. The B.S. in Biology at USFSM is designed to

prepare students for entrance into technical positions in the STEM fields, post-baccalaureate studies in

graduate-level STEM programs, and entrance to professional schools – medical, dental, pharmacy, and

veterinary medicine. Students who obtain a B.S. in Biology at USFSM may also elect to enroll in one-year

master’s degree programs or certificate programs in the health sciences offered at USF Health and other

Florida institutions. While pursuing this degree at USFSM, students will be encouraged to participate in

internships and undergraduate research, which will make them competitive candidates for admission to

graduate programs and professional schools.

Significant Policy Issues for Board to Consider: The USF Board of Trustees has the authority to approve for

implementation new degree programs at the bachelor's, master's, and specialist level. Proposed new programs

require evaluation of budget and resource implications and a determination that the programs advance the

University's mission and are in accord with the strategic plans and priorities of the Board of Trustees and the

Florida Board of Governors.

INTRODUCTION

I. Program Description and Relationship to System-Level Goals

A. Briefly describe within a few paragraphs the degree program under

consideration, including (a) level; (b) emphases, including concentrations,

tracks, or specializations; (c) total number of credit hours; and (d) overall

purpose, including examples of employment or education opportunities that

may be available to program graduates.

The University of South Florida Sarasota-Manatee (USFSM) proposes a new Bachelor of

Science (B.S.) degree in Biology at the undergraduate level. The emphasis of this degree will be

a broad preparation in general biology that balances organismal and ecosystem level content with

cellular and molecular content. We expect students seeking a strong foundation to prepare for

graduate school, as well as those seeking careers in the health professions (MD, DDS, DVM,

etc.), will pursue this degree.

To graduate with the B.S. in Biology, students must take 120 credit hours, including 36 hours of

required general education (general education courses in science and math are also biology

prerequisites), 33 credit hours of biology prerequisites, 30 credits hours of upper-level biology

core courses, 12 credit hours (minimum) of biology upper-level electives, and 6 hours of upper-

level institutional required exit courses.

By offering this degree, USFSM will provide students in our local area and throughout the state

increased access to a STEM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics) degree that will

prepare them for work in the growing life sciences, health professions, and biotechnology

industries in Florida and nationwide. Currently, public institutions in the local area do not offer a

B.S. degree in Biology. Therefore, this degree will greatly benefit place-bound learners wishing

to pursue biology. The B.S. in Biology at USFSM is designed to prepare students for entrance

into technical positions in the STEM fields, post-baccalaureate studies in graduate-level STEM

programs, and entrance to professional schools – medical, dental, pharmacy, and veterinary

medicine. Students who obtain a B.S. in Biology at USFSM may also elect to enroll in one-year

master’s degree programs or certificate programs in the health sciences offered at USF Health

and other Florida institutions. While pursuing this degree at USFSM, students will be

encouraged to participate in internships and undergraduate research, which will make them

competitive candidates for admission to graduate programs and professional schools.

B. Describe how the proposed program is consistent with the current State

University System (SUS) Strategic Planning Goals. Identify which specific goals

the program will directly support and which goals the program will indirectly

support. (See the SUS Strategic Plan at

SUS STRATEGIC PLANNING GOALS 2012-2025

TEACHING AND LEARNING

EXCELLENCE: Strengthen Quality and Reputation of Academic Programs and

Universities.

Improve the quality and relevance of all academic programs, and grow the number of

institutions and academic programs with state, national, and/or international preeminence.

Faculty hired for positions within this program will be selected based on their excellence in

teaching and their ability to mentor undergraduate research students. The curriculum has been

designed to be inquiry-based and lab-intensive to meet the needs of STEM employers, graduate

programs, and professional schools in accordance with new standards developed by the

American Association for the Advancement of Sciences and the National Science Foundation.

This program is designed to teach science as science is done. Students will develop the skills and

competencies necessary for successful careers in the life sciences that contribute to our

understanding of the life sciences, social progress, and business growth within the ecological,

organismal, molecular biology, and health related fields.

PRODUCTIVITY: Increase Degree Productivity and Program Efficiency.

Increase access and degree completion for students, including students from traditionally

underrepresented groups, returning adult students, and distance learning students.

This program will directly contribute to the production of degrees by increasing the number of

degrees granted at USFSM. This program will also expand access to degrees in STEM fields by

providing students in the Sarasota-Manatee area with an opportunity to obtain a B.S. in Biology.

Currently, in the Sarasota-Manatee area, no public institutions offer a B.S. degree in Biology.

Because no degree in biology is offered, the majority of local high school graduates and non-

traditional students must leave our local community if they wish to obtain a degree in biology.

STRATEGIC PRIORITIES FOR A KNOWLEDGE ECONOMY: Increase the Number of

Degrees Awarded in STEM and Other Areas of Strategic Emphasis.

Increase student access and success in degree programs in the STEM fields and other areas of

strategic emphasis that respond to existing, evolving, and emerging critical needs and

opportunities. (Note: See “C” for information on Areas of Strategic Emphasis)

This program directly supports the 2010 “New Florida” initiative for advancing STEM fields by

emphasizing natural sciences and biomedical technology. Statewide professional and workforce

needs will be met by increasing the number of degrees that place graduates in high-wage

positions within the life sciences, health professions, and biotechnology fields. We expect at least

48 students each year to graduate with a B.S. in Biology. However, we have prepared for

scenarios of higher numbers of graduates if enrollment exceeds our current expectations.

4

SCHOLARSHIP, RESEARCH, INNOVATION

EXCELLENCE: Strengthen Quality and Reputation of Scholarship, Research, and

Innovation.

Improve the quality and impact of scholarship, research, and commercialization activities, and

grow the number of faculty/departments/centers and institutions recognized for their

scholarship, research, and commercialization endeavors.

The B.S. in Biology program will help to build a world-class biology program at USFSM by

partnering with Mote Marine Research Laboratories to provide undergraduate research

opportunities and student mentorship. Mote Marine Research Laboratories is already world-

renowned for its research; therefore, by collaborating with scientists at Mote we will directly

improve the quantity and quality of scholarship and research at USFSM. Participation in

collaborative research will help USFSM become an internationally recognized undergraduate

research institution and strengthen the current preeminence of the USF system. Our program

outcomes were developed based on standards for undergraduate education in the biological

sciences recommended by the American Association for the Advancement of Sciences and the

National Science Foundation.

PRODUCTIVITY: Increase Research and Commercialization Activity.

Increase research and commercialization activities to help foster entrepreneurial campus

cultures. Increase undergraduate participation in research to strengthen the pipeline of

researchers pursuing graduate degrees.

The B.S. in Biology will be the first research program in science at USFSM. The undergraduate

research focus of this program will include research experiences for students in a wide variety of

subjects in the life sciences. Students will have the opportunity to take part in local, state,

national, and international research projects that are currently being conducted by USFSM

science faculty and Mote Marine Sciences Laboratory. As a result of this exposure, students will

be more likely to pursue graduate degrees and professional programs in the biological sciences.

Additionally, our students may choose to explore numerous entrepreneurial opportunities in

areas such as aquaculture, biotechnology, and environmental consulting with the knowledge and

skills they gain as a result of graduating from this program.

STRATEGIC PRIORITIES FOR A KNOWLEDGE ECONOMY: Increase Collaboration

and External Support for Research Activity.

Attract more research funding from external (includes federal and private) sources.

Promote more collaboration with private industry on research projects.

Increasingly, funding agencies prioritize grant monies to collaborative projects between private

and public institutions. By working with scientists at Mote Marine Laboratory, a non-profit

organization, the ability of both USFSM and Mote to secure a variety of grants from both federal

and private sources will be enhanced. Mote Marine Laboratory will benefit from the affiliation

with a renowned research university, and USFSM will benefit from the affiliation with a non-

profit research institution. As a result of the collaboration, USFSM will be eligible to apply for

grants available only to research institutions or non-profit organizations. Additionally, because

the program focuses on undergraduate research, USFSM will work closely with private

industries in the Sarasota-Manatee area, which provide opportunities for student internships and

undergraduate research studies.

5

COMMUNITY AND BUSINESS ENGAGEMENT

EXCELLENCE: Strengthen Quality and Recognition of Commitment to Community and

Business Engagement.

Improve the quality and relevance of public service activities, and grow the number of

institutions recognized for their commitment to community and business engagement.

This program will provide the first opportunity for students in the Sarasota-Manatee area to

conduct undergraduate research in biology. This research will be beneficial to the community

because it will contribute to our understanding of local biological issues. This program will also

allow USFSM faculty to work on collaborative research projects with scientists from Mote

Marine Laboratory. As a result of their collaboration, USFSM faculty and Mote scientists will be

engaged with both the community and local businesses.

PRODUCTIVITY: Increase Levels of Community and Business Engagement.

Increase faculty and student involvement in community and business engagement activities.

The new B.S. in Biology degree will involve faculty and students extensively in community and

business partnerships through student internships, volunteer activities, and participation in civic

establishments, service clubs, and charitable organizations. Faculty and students will have

opportunities to present their research at meetings of local, state, and national organizations

focused on topics in the life sciences.

STRATEGIC PRIORITIES FOR A KNOWLEDGE ECONOMY: Increase Community

and Business Workforce

Increase the percentage of graduates who continue their education or are employed in Florida.

This program will directly increase the number of graduates who apply to graduate programs and

professional schools, because most students who major in biology plan to pursue graduate

degrees. The Sarasota-Manatee area has a high demand for qualified professionals in the

biological and health sciences. By encouraging student participation in internships and

undergraduate research within the community, these students are more likely to develop a

connection to their community and return to the Sarasota-Manatee area after completing graduate

and professional programs. Students who do not pursue further degrees in higher education can

enter the work force as technicians in any biology-related field. These students may pursue local

entry-level employment at several business and government agencies that require a B.S. in

Biology.

C. If the program is to be included in an Area of Programmatic Strategic Emphasis as

described in the SUS Strategic Plan, please indicate the category and the justification

for inclusion.

This program falls under the Area of Programmatic Strategic Emphasis – 3. Science,

Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM). The classification of the CIP Title

Biology/Biological Sciences, General was effective as of fall 2005.

6

D. Identify any established or planned educational sites at which the program is expected

to be offered and indicate whether it will be offered only at sites other than the main

campus.

Lecture courses that do not include a laboratory component will be taught at the USFSM

campus. Courses that require laboratory components will be taught at Mote Marine Laboratory.

This facility offers teaching and research labs, lab preparation areas, chemical and equipment

storage, faculty office space, and a student commons area. The Mote Marine Laboratory is

located on Longboat Key in Sarasota, Florida, approximately seven miles from USFSM.

INSTITUTIONAL AND STATE LEVEL ACCOUNTABILITY

II. Need and Demand

A. Need: Describe national, state, and/or local data that support the need for more

people to be prepared in this program at this level. Reference national, state,

and/or local plans or reports that support the need for this program and

requests for the proposed program which have emanated from a perceived need

by agencies or industries in your service area. Cite any specific need for

research and service that the program would fulfill.

National Need

Students who earn a B.S. in Biology can enter a variety of occupations or opt to continue their

education. In 2012 reports from the Bureau of Labor Statistics indicated that individuals with a

B.S. in Biology can expect to earn median salaries ranging from $35,000 to $75,000, depending

on the occupation they pursue. Jobs in these fields are expected to grow by 10-29% or higher

over the next several years. Those students who continue with their education and obtain

master’s degrees, Ph.D.s, or professional degrees in the biological sciences are projected to have

median salaries between $55,000 and over $75,000. Careers in these fields are also projected to

grow by 10 – 29% or higher (http://www.bls.gov/ooh/occupation-finder.htm).

The jobs most related to a degree in biology typically fall into two categories, STEM and health

science. A study by the Center on Education and the Workforce identified these two categories

as the two fastest growing career clusters in the U.S. (see

http://www9.georgetown.edu/grad/gppi/hpi/cew/pdfs/clusters-complete-update1.pdf).

Life and Physical Sciences Occupations are expected to add 130,000 new jobs by 2018. A

bachelor’s degree is required for 43% of these jobs. Healthcare organizations are expected to

provide 2.8 million job openings by 2018.

http://www9.georgetown.edu/grad/gppi/hpi/cew/pdfs/FullReport.pdf).

State Need

The Florida State University System (SUS) has been called on by the Florida Board Governors

(BOG) to increase the number of baccalaureate STEM degrees awarded each year. Current

projections by the BOG show the SUS will fall short of the goal by some 4,000 degrees unless

the universities are able to increase capacity for and recruitment of students in these fields

(retrieved from http://www.flbog.edu/pressroom/_doc/2011-11-28_Strategic_Plan_2012-

2025_FINAL.PDF).

Statewide need for graduates in the STEM fields is at an all-time high and is projected to

continue to grow. The Florida Department of Economic Opportunity predicts that careers for

scientists working in the Life Sciences will grow 2.44% each year over the next seven years

(http://www.floridajobs.org/labor-market-information/data-center/statistical-

programs/employment-projections#).

Local Need

SRI International recently prepared a report for the Tampa Bay Regional Planning Council

entitled “Workforce Assets and Gaps in the Tampa Bay Region.” The four target employment

sectors for the Tampa Bay area named in this report were Health & Human Performance; Marine

& Environmental Activities; High‐Tech Electronics & Instruments; and Business, Financial &

Data Services. Over the last three years, 19% of employers surveyed reported difficulty in hiring

employees with a bachelor’s degree. Over the next three years, 15% of the employers report an

expected increase in demand for employees with bachelor’s degrees. For post-baccalaureate

certificates 33% of employers reported difficulty in hiring for positions requiring these

certificates, and 36% report an expected increase in the need over the next three years. (See

report retrieved from http://www.tampabay.org/documents/Workforce%20Assets-Gaps.pdf).

USFSM’s biology program will provide the first opportunity for students in the Sarasota-

Manatee area to conduct undergraduate research in biology. This program will also allow

USFSM faculty to work on collaborative research projects with scientists from Mote Marine

Laboratory.

B. Demand: Describe data that support the assumption that students will enroll in

the proposed program. Include descriptions of surveys or other

communications with prospective students.

National Demand

The Princeton Review lists Biology/Biological Sciences as one of the top 10 majors

(http://www.princetonreview.com/college/top-ten-majors.aspx accessed 07/31/2012) selected by

university students.

The 2011 CIRP Freshman Survey

(http://heri.ucla.edu/PDFs/pubs/TFS/Norms/Monographs/TheAmericanFreshman2011.pdf. )

found that 16% of all freshman surveyed at all baccalaureate institutions planned to major in

biology or attend professional schools that require a significant amount of course work in the

biological sciences (medicine, dentistry, veterinarian, pharmacy).

The National Center for Education Statistics reports biological and biomedical science programs

from Title IV institutions granted the sixth highest number of bachelor’s degrees, equal to 5% of

all bachelor’s degrees awarded from these institutions in 2010-11 nationally.

State Demand

The College Board (2012, retrieved from

http://professionals.collegeboard.com/profdownload/FL_11_03_03_01.pdf) found 29% of

Florida high school seniors who sat for the SATs in 2011 intend to pursue a college major in

biological and biomedical sciences, health professions and related clinical services, or natural

resources and conservation.

Across all statewide institutions, enrollment in B.S. in Biology programs has doubled over the

last decade from 7,169 in 2002 to 15,664 students in 2011

(http://www.flbog.edu/resources/iud/enrollment_search.php). In addition, the number of B.S. in

Biology degrees awarded by the same institutions has also increased from 720 in 2001 to 1,506

in 2010 (http://www.flbog.edu/resources/iud/degrees_search.php).

Local Demand

The number of students enrolled in courses leading to a major in biology at the State College of

Florida Manatee-Sarasota (SCF) in Bradenton, are shown in the table below. Currently, these

students must transfer out of the area from SCF to pursue a B.S. in the Biological Sciences

(personal communication with Chair of Natural Sciences at SCF Bradenton).

*Data used in the above table were provided by Jane Pfeilsticker, Chair of the Natural

Sciences Department at State College of Florida, Bradenton.

USFSM contacted several high schools in Sarasota and Manatee counties. All have indicated that

many of their students plan to pursue careers in the biological and health related sciences;

however, most of these schools do not collect formal data on proposed student majors and

interests.

Local area high schools graduate an average of 5,500 students each year. According to the

FLDOE, 27% of these graduates plan to attend an SUS university. Those who wish to pursue a

degree in biology must currently leave the area. In reality, this is not always possible for every

student because of familial or economic situations. Additionally, SUS institutions have become

more competitive in their admissions because of space and funding issues, leaving many students

unable to gain admittance into high-enrollment majors like biology.

C. If substantially similar programs (generally at the four-digit CIP Code or 60

percent similar in core courses), either private or public exist in the state,

identify the institution(s) and geographic location(s). Summarize the

outcome(s) of communication with such programs with regard to the potential

impact on their enrollment and opportunities for possible collaboration

(instruction and research). In Appendix B, provide data that support the need

for an additional program as well as letters of support, or letters of concern,

from the provosts of other state universities with substantially similar

programs.

According to the BOG Academic Program Inventory, B.S. degrees in Biology are available at 11

Florida SUS schools: University of South Florida (Tampa, and St. Petersburg), Florida

International University (Miami), University of Florida (Gainesville), Florida A & M University

(Tallahassee), Florida Atlantic University (Boca Raton), University of North Florida

(Jacksonville), University of Central Florida (Orlando), Florida Gulf Coast University (Ft.

Myers), University of West Florida (Pensacola), and Florida State University (Tallahassee).

Degrees in biology are standard at most public and private colleges and universities that offer a

natural or physical science curriculum. Currently, USFSM does not offer a degree in the natural

or physical sciences. However, courses in these fields are offered at USFSM as part of the

general education curriculum.

During the fall of 2012, Dr. Jane Rose (Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences) and Dr. Erin

Martin (Coordinator of General Education / Instructor of Biology) met with faculty and

administration from USF Tampa, USF St. Petersburg, and Florida Gulf Coast University to

discuss the potential of offering a B.S. in Biology at USFSM. Additionally, Dr. Martin met with

faculty at New College of Florida and State College of Florida Manatee-Sarasota to discuss

potential collaborations. All parties were supportive of this program and offered excellent advice

relevant to planning for this degree.

During the past academic year, Dr. Bonnie Jones (Regional Vice Chancellor of Academic and

Student Affairs), Dr. Jane Rose (Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences) and Dr. Erin Martin

(Coordinator of General Education / Instructor of Biology) met several times with administrators

at State College of Florida, Manatee-Sarasota (SCF) and SCF faculty who teach lower-level

sciences courses. The purpose of these meetings was to discuss ways in which our institutions

could collaborate if USFSM was to offer a B.S. in Biology. Faculty and administration from both

institutions felt it was important that students be able to begin their academic program at either

SCF or USFSM. Additionally, faculty teaching lower-level science courses at SCF and USFSM

plan to meet on an annual basis and discuss course content, student learning outcomes, and

required competencies/skills that are part of these courses. We feel that this would allow a

seamless transition for SCF students to pursue their B.S. Biology degrees at USFSM. Currently,

faculty advisors for the Biology Club at SCF and the future Biology Club advisor at USFSM are

exploring the opportunity to hold club meetings together. This would allow our students to

participate in community events as a larger group and to get to know the SCF students. Upper

division students in the Biology program at USFSM could then mentor students who start out at

SCF. A letter of support for USFSM’s biology program from SCF is forthcoming.

In December 2012, the SUS Council of Academic Vice Presidents (CAVP) assembled to review

proposed new programming by all SUS institutions. The USFSM B.S. in Biology was reviewed

and approved by this statewide committee without objection. (See Appendix B for

documentation of approval by the CAVP.) Additionally, USF Provost, Dr. Ralph Wilcox,

contacted the provosts of FAMU and FIU.

D. Use Table 1 in Appendix A (A for undergraduate and B for graduate) to

categorize projected student headcount (HC) and Full Time Equivalents (FTE)

according to primary sources. Generally undergraduate FTE will be calculated

as 40 credit hours per year and graduate FTE will be calculated as 32 credit

hours per year. Describe the rationale underlying enrollment projections. If,

initially, students within the institution are expected to change majors to enroll

10

in the proposed program, describe the shifts from disciplines that will likely

occur.

USFSM projects that students will likely come from the following sources as shown in table 1-A

in Appendix A:

Students who initially entered the university as FTIC and who are progressing

from the lower to the upper level: USFSM will begin offering an expanded lower-

level program in Fall Semester 2013. It is expected that many of these students will

choose to attend USFSM because of the Biology degree and its connection to Mote

Marine Laboratory.

Florida College System and Community College Transfers: The typical USFSM

student hails from a community or state college, and this trend is projected to continue

into the foreseeable future.

Transfers to the upper level from other Florida colleges and universities: In

addition to Florida College System transfers, a large percentage of USFSM’s current

enrollments are categorized as “other transfer.” It appears from the data that USFSM

transfer students are attending large Florida universities after high school and then

transferring back to Sarasota and Manatee counties after one or two years.

Transfers from out of state colleges and universities: USFSM also typically enrolls

students who leave the area to attend out-of-state schools but then decide to return home.

Additionally, the surrounding area attracts many Northerners looking to relocate to a

Southern climate.

E. Indicate what steps will be taken to achieve a diverse student body in this

program. If the proposed program substantially duplicates a program at

FAMU or FIU, provide, (in consultation with the affected university), an

analysis of how the program might have an impact upon that university’s

ability to attract students of races different from that which is predominant on

their campus in the subject program. The university’s Equal Opportunity

Officer shall review this section of the proposal and then sign and date in the

area below to indicate that the analysis required by this subsection has been

reviewed and approved.

The following chart displays the demographics of the student headcount for the USFSM College of Arts

& Sciences (CAS) compared to USFSM and the USF System for academic year 2012-13.

Asian Black Hispanic Caucasian Other Female Male

USF System 8% 12% 16% 59% 5% 58% 42%

USFSM 3% 7% 12% 75% 3% 62% 38%

USFSM CAS 1% 9% 13% 74% 3% 70% 30%

Steps taken to achieve a diverse student body in this program: USFSM’s CAS will utilize

various avenues to achieve a diverse student body within the Biology program. We will reach out

to a variety of minority groups at secondary institutions and within community organizations in

recruiting students for the program. The College of Arts and Sciences (CAS) embraces diversity

as a core commitment and fully supports the USF System’s mission, goals, values, and vision as

they relate to diversity. We will work within our institutional structure to pursue:

A diverse faculty, administration, and staff that mirror the students we educate.

A diverse student population that reflects and embraces our entire population.

A profession that is responsible for the inclusion of all persons.

These are the values and ideals that we believe in, support, and strive to achieve. We will

periodically monitor the student, faculty, and staff data and distribute the data accordingly. We

anticipate that no minority groups will be unfavorably impacted by this program.

There is no anticipated impact on FAMU or FIU.

III. Budget

A. Use Table 2 in Appendix A to display projected costs and associated funding

sources for Year 1 and Year 5 of program operation. Use Table 3 in Appendix

A to show how existing Education & General funds will be shifted to support

the new program in Year 1. In narrative form, summarize the contents of both

tables, identifying the source of both current and new resources to be devoted to

the proposed program. (Data for Year 1 and Year 5 reflect snapshots in time

rather than cumulative costs.) If the university intends to operate the program

through continuing education on a cost-recovery basis or market rate, provide a

rationale for doing so and a timeline for seeking Board of Governors’ approval,

if appropriate.

The costs associated with program personnel and expenses are listed in Table 2 in Appendix A.

Costs related to the program include the salaries of three full-time faculty members. Dr. Erin

Martin was hired in 2012 in anticipation of the program, a second faculty will be hired for Fall

Semester 2014 (year 1), and a third faculty to start in Fall Semester 2015 (costs shown in year 5).

Salaries will also be paid to Mote Marine scientists who will serve in OPS positions.

Additionally, an advisor/recruiter will be hired to assist students under an A&P line as well as a

laboratory technician who will maintain the laboratories and equipment. The costs scheduled in

the expense category will cover the utilities and custodial services needed to operate the

laboratories.

Funding of the costs in year 1 will originate from two sources: other new recurring (E&G) and

through student fees, which will be housed in an auxiliary fund. The Florida Legislature granted

USFSM other new recurring funds in May 2013. Beginning in FY 2013, $1,117,396 in recurring

12

funding will be added to USFSM’s E&G budget to cover costs related to the Biology program,

as well as other STEM programming. By year 5, the Biology program is projected to be “self-

sufficient,” generating enough in tuition and student fees to cover costs. Please note, a zeroed

Table 3 has been submitted, because a reallocation of funds is not projected in Table 2.

B. If other programs will be impacted by a reallocation of resources for the

proposed program, identify the program and provide a justification for

reallocating resources. Specifically address the potential negative impacts that

implementation of the proposed program will have on related undergraduate

programs (i.e., shift in faculty effort, reallocation of instructional resources,

reduced enrollment rates, greater use of adjunct faculty and teaching

assistants). Explain what steps will be taken to mitigate any such impacts.

Also, discuss the potential positive impacts that the proposed program might

have on related undergraduate programs (i.e., increased undergraduate

research opportunities, improved quality of instruction associated with cutting-

edge research, improved labs and library resources).

The B.S. in Biology is unlikely to detract from other degree programs offered on campus,

because USFSM currently does not offer any science-related degrees.

C. Describe other potential impacts on related programs or departments (e.g.,

increased need for general education or common prerequisite courses, or

increased need for required or elective courses outside of the proposed major).

We do not anticipate any other potential impacts on programs at USFSM.

D. Describe what steps have been taken to obtain information regarding resources

(financial and in-kind) available outside the institution (businesses, industrial

organizations, governmental entities, etc.). Describe the external resources that

appear to be available to support the proposed program.

USFSM has a partnership agreement in place with Mote Marine Laboratory a local world

renowned research marine center for in-kind support of donated space for our first science

laboratories.

Over the past 24 months USFSM has been pursuing foundation, corporate and individual

contributions for developing science laboratories and general science programming resources to

build our undergraduate science facilities and general science courses. In addition to the Roberta

Leventhal Sudakoff Foundation which is our largest funder to date at $250,000 for our new

science laboratories, Harry Sudakoff Foundation has awarded a $50,000 grant, and the William

G. Selby and Marie Selby Foundation has awarded a $150,000 grant. We have also been

successful with smaller foundations and individuals both for naming rooms in the new Lab space

and providing resources to build out the space.

Corporate proposals have been submitted to the Brunswick Corporation, Mosaic Company

Foundation, and the Walmart Foundation totaling over $1.6 Million and we are awaiting word if

these will be funded. As a part of our annual fund campaign we have informed and solicited

over 18,000 local alumni to get involved in our science program funding. We have recently

completed a profile for the Giving Partner Challenge through the Community Foundation of

13

Sarasota County. This allows donors to locate our organization and projects to give direct

support. Science laboratory funding is one area of support we are recommending to donors

through this site.

IV. Projected Benefit of the Program to the University, Local Community, and State

Use information from Tables 1 and 2 in Appendix A, and the supporting narrative

for “Need and Demand” to prepare a concise statement that describes the projected

benefit to the university, local community, and the state if the program is

implemented. The projected benefits can be both quantitative and qualitative in

nature, but there needs to be a clear distinction made between the two in the

narrative.

At both the state and national level, a call for increased STEM-related programs has been issued.

The BOG cites biology as an area of Strategic Emphasis and has set as a strategic goal for SUS

institutions an increase in STEM-related degrees. Locally, in the Sarasota-Manatee workforce

region, occupations in which a biology degree would serve are growing at rates as high as 6%

over the next six years.

Demand for the program is also evident. Locally, 350 prospective USFSM students have

requested biology related majors and USFSM’s feeder State College, SCF, reports nearly 2,000

enrollments in its lower-level science and health related courses. Statewide, a 2011 survey of

Florida college-bound high school seniors found 28% of the respondents would seek degrees in

biology, biomedical, or health professions. Nationally, in 2010-11, 86,400 bachelor’s degrees in

biological and biological medical sciences were awarded. Only 5 other fields of study awarded

more degrees.

V. Access and Articulation – Bachelor’s Degrees Only

A. If the total number of credit hours to earn a degree exceeds 120, provide a

justification for an exception to the policy of a 120 maximum and submit a

separate request to the Board of Governors for an exception along with

notification of the program’s approval. (See criteria in Board of Governors

Regulation 6C-8.014)

Not applicable.

B. List program prerequisites and provide assurance that they are the same as the

approved common prerequisites for other such degree programs within the

SUS (see the Common Prerequisite Manual at FACTS.org). The courses in the

Common Prerequisite Counseling Manual are intended to be those that are

required of both native and transfer students prior to entrance to the major

program, not simply lower-level courses that are required prior to graduation.

The common prerequisites and substitute courses are mandatory for all

institution programs listed, and must be approved by the Articulation

Coordinating Committee (ACC). This requirement includes those programs

designated as “limited access.”

If the proposed prerequisites are not listed in the Manual, provide a rationale for

http://facts23.facts.org/navigation/detail_ext/cpp_intro.do?pageId=050304

14

a request for exception to the policy of common prerequisites. NOTE:

Typically, all lower-division courses required for admission into the major will

be considered prerequisites. The curriculum can require lower-division courses

that are not prerequisites for admission into the major, as long as those courses

are built into the curriculum for the upper-level 60 credit hours. If there are

already common prerequisites for other degree programs with the same

proposed CIP, every effort must be made to utilize the previously approved

prerequisites instead of recommending an additional “track” of prerequisites for

that CIP. Additional tracks may not be approved by the ACC, thereby holding

up the full approval of the degree program. Programs will not be entered into

the State University System Inventory until any exceptions to the approved

common prerequisites are approved by the ACC.

C. If the university intends to seek formal Limited Access status for the proposed

program, provide a rationale that includes an analysis of diversity issues with

respect to such a designation. Explain how the university will ensure that

community college transfer students are not disadvantaged by the Limited

Access status. NOTE: The policy and criteria for Limited Access are identified

in Board of Governors Regulation 6C-8.013. Submit the Limited Access

Program Request form along with this document.

USFSM does not intend to seek formal Limited Access status for the proposed program.

D. If the proposed program is an AS-to-BS capstone, ensure that it adheres to the

guidelines approved by the Articulation Coordinating Committee for such

programs, as set forth in Rule 6A-10.024 (see Statewide Articulation Manual at

FACTS.org). List the prerequisites, if any, including the specific AS degrees

which may transfer into the program.

Not applicable.

INSTITUTIONAL READINESS

VI. Related Institutional Mission and Strength

A. Describe how the goals of the proposed program relate to the institutional

mission statement as contained in the SUS Strategic Plan and the University

Strategic Plan.

SUS Mission: (SUS Strategic Plan 2012-2025) The mission of the State University System of

Florida is to provide undergraduate, graduate and professional education, research, and public

service of the highest quality through a coordinated system of institutions of higher learning,

each with its own mission and collectively dedicated to serving the needs of a diverse state and

global society.

USF System Mission: (USF System Strategic Plan 2010-2015) The University of South Florida

System, which includes USF Tampa, USF St. Petersburg, and USF Sarasota-Manatee catalyzes

and coordinates initiatives at and among its interdependent institutions that develop graduates for

21st century careers; advances research, scholarship, and creative endeavors to improve the

quality of life; and engages its communities for mutual benefit.

USFSM Mission: (USFSM Strategic Plan 2012-2016) The University of South Florida Sarasota-

Manatee provides access to professional higher education programs and scholarly research in a

personalized living and learning community that graduates successful leaders who empower

Florida’s Suncoast to thrive locally, nationally, and globally.

The first goal of this program is to provide a broad undergraduate biology degree that will

prepare students in the Sarasota-Manatee service area for employment or further graduate study

in a variety of STEM fields, such as health, research, or science education. Under this goal our

program will support the following within each mission.

SUS: To strengthen quality and reputation of academic programs and universities; increase

degree productivity and program efficiency; Increase the number of degrees awarded in STEM

and other areas.

USF System: Expanding world-class interdisciplinary research, creative and scholarly

endeavors; promoting globally competitive undergraduate, graduate, and professional programs

that support interdisciplinary inquiry, intellectual development, knowledge and skill acquisition,

and student success through a diverse fully engaged, learner-centered campus environment;

expanding local and global engagement initiatives to strengthen and sustain healthy communities

and to improve the quality of life.

USFSM: To expand academic programs in distinctive areas related to the Suncoast’s needs and

strengths and across disciplines, when feasible, including the ability for students to complete the

full four-year bachelor’s degree; promote innovative scholarship and community-engaged

research; seek external funding from public grants, private foundations, and individual donors;

partner with a variety of organizations and stakeholders, including the USF System.

16

The second goal of this program is to assure that this education is rich with engaged laboratory

and field experiences, supervised by a faculty of active science researchers. Under this goal the

program will support the following within the each mission.

SUS: Strengthen quality and reputation of academic programs and universities; increase degree

productivity and program efficiency; Increase the number of degrees awarded in STEM and

other areas; Strengthen quality & reputation of scholarship, research and innovation; Increase

research and commercialization activity; Increase collaboration and external support for research

activity.

USF System: Expanding world-class interdisciplinary research, creative and scholarly

endeavors; Promoting globally competitive undergraduate, graduate, and professional programs

that support interdisciplinary inquiry, intellectual development, knowledge and skill acquisition,

and student success through a diverse fully engaged, learner-centered campus environment;

expanding local and global engagement initiatives to strengthen and sustain healthy communities

and to improve the quality of life.

USFSM: Promote innovative scholarship and community-engaged research; seek external

funding from public grants, private foundations, and individual donors; produce continuous

improvement in student outcome measures including retention and graduation rates and student

career results; track and promote faculty developed measures of scholarship; Identify student

success predictors; track and share the value of the University’s and graduates’ economic and

societal contributions.

B. Describe how the proposed program specifically relates to existing institutional

strengths, such as programs of emphasis, other academic programs, and/or

institutes and centers.

The B.S. in Biology will allow USFSM to meet community needs by offering the first science

degree in the Sarasota-Manatee region. This program will also help us strengthen our

relationship with the State College of Florida Manatee-Sarasota, because several of their students

currently want to major in biology but do not have the opportunity to do so in the Sarasota-

Manatee area.

C. Provide a narrative of the planning process leading up to submission of this

proposal. Include a chronology (table) of activities, listing both university

personnel directly involved and external individuals who participated in

planning. Provide a timetable of events necessary for the implementation of the

proposed program.

VII. Program Quality Indicators - Reviews and Accreditation

Identify program reviews, accreditation visits, or internal reviews for any university

degree programs related to the proposed program, especially any within the same

academic unit. List all recommendations and summarize the institution's progress

in implementing the recommendations.

All USFSM programs undergo an internal review through an annual cycle of assessment. The

B.S. in Biology assessment cycle will begin once the program has been approved and

implemented. Initially accredited by SACSCOC effective January 1, 2011, with no findings,

USFSM will be up for SACSCOC reaffirmation of accreditation in 2016.

Program reviews at USFSM are conducted in accordance with Florida Board of Governor’s

Regulation 8.015 and will occur at least every seven years.

VIII. Curriculum

A. Describe the specific expected student learning outcomes associated with the

proposed program. If a bachelor’s degree program, include a web link to the

Academic Learning Compact or include the document itself as an appendix.

See Appendix C to view the Academic Learning Compact and Student Learning Assessment

Plan for the B.S. in Biology.

The learning outcomes associated with this program are consistent with the existing Academic

Learning Compact structure and the requirements of the State of Florida. The Biology Academic

Learning Compact includes courses that prepare students for graduate school in biology (or

closely-related fields) and health professions doctoral programs (MD, DDS, DVM, Pharm.D,

DPT).

24

USFSM B.S. in Biology Student Learning Outcomes

1. Demonstrate knowledge in three major sub-disciplines of biology: cellular and molecular

biology, organismal biology, and ecology and evolution.

2. Demonstrate an understanding of the ways in which biology interrelates with other

sciences, disciplines, and society.

3. Demonstrate the ability to engage in the scientific process through the planning,

execution, and interpretation of laboratory or field studies.

4. Demonstrate understanding of the ethical challenges and practices in the biological

sciences.

5. Demonstrate critical thinking in both qualitative and quantitative analysis and evaluation

of scientific information.

6. Demonstrate oral and written skills in the assembly and presentation of scientific reports

on biological investigations.

*These outcomes were developed to align with outcomes presented in the report “Vision and

Change in Undergraduate Biology Education: A Call to Action”. This report was compiled by

NSF (National Science Foundation) and AAAS (American Association for the Advancement of

Science) and published in 2011.

B. Describe the admission standards and graduation requirements for the program.

Admission Standards

General Admission Requirement

The minimum admissions requirements for USFSM are provided in the USF System

Undergraduate Catalog and available on the respective official websites (Freshman and Transfer

Students) and the BOG websites (6.002 Freshmen, 6.004 Transfer Students). Prior to

registration, each student accepted for admission must submit a signed medical history form,

including documentation of appropriate immunizations as required by USF Policy 33-002.

Satisfaction of these requirements does not guarantee admission to the USFSM. Preference for

admission is given to those applicants whose credentials indicate the greatest promise of

academic success and graduation.

All applicants are considered for admission using the same criteria and are expected to meet the

minimum admission requirements in effect for the term of entry. No pre-admission consideration

is given to an applicant with a disability. (See USF System Policy 0-108, Disability and

Accommodations.) Information that must be submitted for any applicant to be considered for

admission to the USFSM includes a completed application for admission that is available on-

line, a non-refundable application fee payable in U.S. dollars and, if English is not the primary or

native language, scores on the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) or the

International English Language Testing System (IELTS).

New undergraduates—both freshmen and transfers—must complete the appropriate

Orientation/Advising/Registration program before the first day of classes of their term of entry.

The TOEFL or IELTS requirement shall be waived if the applicant has an Associate in Arts

(AA) degree/certificate from a Florida public college/university or if, immediately prior to the

entry date, the applicant has spent four consecutive years in a school where all courses are taught

25

in English or if the applicant meets the Board of Governors’ minimum SAT or ACT scores in

Reading and Writing.

Performance in coursework at USF, attempted as a non-degree seeking student, will not qualify

an applicant for admission to USFSM’s undergraduate degree program except if completed as

part of the approved Pathways programs offered through INTO USF or other approved program.

USFSM will begin accepting freshmen students in Fall 2013. Please contact the admission office

for more information.

General Transfer Requirements

The admission of transfer students is governed by Florida State Statutes and Florida Board of

Governors Regulation (BOG 6.004).

1. Transfer applicants must be in good standing and eligible to reenroll at the last regionally

accredited institution attended as a degree seeking student.

2. All transfer applicants are required to meet satisfactory academic progress criteria as

determined by the U.S. Department of Education. USF System institutions have specific

transfer admission requirements which may include a completion of specific percentage

of courses attempted. An excessive number of course withdrawals as well as failed and

repeated courses could negatively affect admissibility as a transfer to the USF System.

3. Transfer applicants must submit official transcripts from all post-secondary colleges and

schools attended.

4. Grade-point averages for the purpose of admission will be computed based on grades

earned in courses acceptable for transfer credit; incomplete grades will be computed as

failures.

5. Transfer applicants must have completed two credits of one foreign language or

American Sign

Language in high school or the equivalent to eight to ten semester hours in the undergraduate

institution(s) attended or demonstrate equivalent foreign language competence as described in

BOG Regulation 6.004. Transfers are exempt from this admissions requirement if they received

an Associate in Arts degree prior to September 1, 1989, or if prior to August 1, 1989, they

enrolled in a program of study leading to an associate degree from a Florida public college or

university and have maintained continuous enrollment until they are admitted to a university.

Continuous enrollment will be established if the student enrolls in at least one term in each

twelve-month period beginning with the student’s first enrollment in a community college and

continuing until the student enrolls in a university.

Lower-Level Transfer Requirements

USFSM will accept transfer applicants with a minimum of 45 hours and less than 60 semester

hours of transferable college credit in Fall 2012. In addition to the requirements listed below in

Upper-Level Transfer Requirements, Lower-Level Transfers must submit an official high school

transcript showing a minimum of a 2.5 GPA, as well as official SAT scores of 460 Critical

Reading, 460 Mathematics, and 440 Writing; OR official ACT scores of 19 Reading, 19

Mathematics, and 18 English/Writing. These scores are subject to the State University System of

Florida minimum system admission requirements.

26

Upper Level Transfer Requirements

Admission as a junior to the upper division of USFSM will be granted-within curricular, space

and fiscal limitations to an Associate in Arts degree graduate of a state-approved Florida public

college or university or a transfer applicant from an SUS institution who has received the AA

degree/certificate.

The admission of A.A. degree transfers from Florida public colleges and universities is governed

by the Florida Articulation Agreement (BOG Resolution adopting Rule 6A-10.024) Articulation

Between and Among Universities, Community Colleges, and School Districts).

Undergraduate transfer students who have not earned the AA degree/certificate from a public

community/junior college or state university in Florida or who have attended another college

after receipt of the A.A. degree/certificate from a public community/junior college or state

university in Florida must have an overall 2.0 grade point average on a 4.0 system in all college

level courses attempted and acceptable to transfer.

Associate in Arts degree holders who are not exempt from the foreign language requirement and

all other upper level transfer students admitted without meeting the foreign language admission

requirement must satisfy the foreign language requirement prior to graduation. Undergraduate

transfer students who have not earned the A.A. degree from a Florida public institution or who

have attended another college after receipt of the A.A. must minimally meet the following

requirements to be considered for admission; however, satisfying these minimum requirements

does not guarantee admission:

1. Be in good standing and eligible to return to the last regionally-accredited institution

attended as a degree-seeking student or a non-regionally-accredited institution

participating in the SCNS with SCNS approved transferable credits;

2. Complete (with passing grades) two years of the same foreign language in high school or

8 to 10 semester hours of the same foreign language at a previous college or university.

Students who entered a Florida College System institution prior to August 1, 1989 and

maintain continuous enrollment until the time of their USFSM entry as degree-seeking

students may be admitted without the required foreign language study;

3. Meet the minimum grade point average required by the program if entering a limited-

access program and transferring 60 or more semester hours;

4. Present a minimum score of 550 (written test) or 79 (Internet-based test) on the Test of

English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL), or 6.5 on the I-ELTS. The TOEFL requirement

may be waived on an individual basis when appropriate alternative evidence of English

language proficiency is presented in writing.

USFSM also considers applicants who do not fully meet the minimum requirements as stated in

#1 and #2 above but who have important attributes, special talents, or unique circumstances that

may contribute to a representative and diverse student body. These undergraduate transfer

applicants are considered for admission by a faculty committee on the basis of other appropriate

evidence of promise for academic success. These applicants should also submit appropriate

alternative evidence of academic achievement, ability, motivation, and responsibility that

indicates a potential for academic success at USFSM.

The B.S. in Biology will not have special admissions requirements, but will require the following

industry-driven competencies were identified and incorporated into the

curriculum and indicate whether any industry advisory council exists to

provide input for curriculum development and student assessment.

36

Following program approval, the Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences will develop an

advisory board consisting of local physicians, hospital and clinic administrators, biologists,

business owners, faculty, advisors, and students.

G. For all programs, list the specialized accreditation agencies and learned

societies that would be concerned with the proposed program. Will the

university seek accreditation for the program if it is available? If not, why?

Provide a brief timeline for seeking accreditation, if appropriate.

Not Applicable.

H. For doctoral programs, list the accreditation agencies and learned societies that

would be concerned with corresponding bachelor’s or master’s programs

associated with the proposed program. Are the programs accredited? If not,

why?

Not Applicable.

I. Briefly describe the anticipated delivery system for the proposed program (e.g.,

traditional delivery on main campus; traditional delivery at branch campuses

or centers; or nontraditional delivery such as distance or distributed learning,

self-paced instruction, or external degree programs). If the proposed delivery

system will require specialized services or greater than normal financial

support, include projected costs in Table 2 in Appendix A. Provide a narrative

describing the feasibility of delivering the proposed program through

collaboration with other universities, both public and private. Cite specific

queries made of other institutions with respect to shared courses,

distance/distributed learning technologies, and joint-use facilities for research

or internships.

Faculty in the B.S. in Biology will deliver coursework using three methods: traditional on-

campus, traditional laboratories off-site at Mote Marine, and in the non-traditional methods of

on-line and blended formats. Expenses related to the facility will be paid through an auxiliary

account funded by student fees and through the additional E&G budget granted by the Florida

Legislature in FY 2013 to expand STEM-related programming at USFSM.

USFSM met with faculty and administration at USF Tampa, USF St. Petersburg, and Florida

Gulf Coast University. No direct collaborative efforts were determined feasible at this time, but

a collegiality was established and all parties are hopeful that some collaboration may be feasible

in the future.

IX. Faculty Participation

A. Use Table 4 in Appendix A to identify existing and anticipated ranked (not

visiting or adjunct) faculty who will participate in the proposed program

through Year 5. Include (a) faculty code associated with the source of funding

for the position; (b) name; (c) highest degree held; (d) academic discipline or

specialization; (e) contract status (tenure, tenure-earning, or multi-year annual

37

[MYA]); (f) contract length in months; and (g) percent of annual effort that will

be directed toward the proposed program (instruction, advising, supervising

internships and practica, and supervising thesis or dissertation hours).

See Table 4 in Appendix A.

B. Use Table 2 in Appendix A to display the costs and associated funding resources

for existing and anticipated ranked faculty (as identified in Table 2 in Appendix

A). Costs for visiting and adjunct faculty should be included in the category of

Other Personnel Services (OPS). Provide a narrative summarizing projected

costs and funding sources.

Faculty-related costs are depicted in Table 2 in Appendix A. Dr. Erin Martin was hired in 2012

in anticipation of the program, a second faculty member will be hired for Fall Semester 2014

(year 1), and a third faculty member will start in Fall Semester 2015 (costs shown in year 5).

Salaries will also be paid to Mote Marine scientists who will serve in OPS teaching positions.

Funding for the positions will come from new recurring E&G funding added to the USFSM

budget in May 2013 by the Florida Legislature.

C. Provide in the appendices the curriculum vitae (CV) for each existing faculty

member (do not include information for visiting or adjunct faculty).

See Appendix D for USFSM faculty vitae & Mote Marine Scientist vitae.

Please note that although it is recognized that adjunct faculty vitae are not to be included in the

appendix, the vitae for the Mote Marine scientists are provided in Appendix D. The reason for

inclusion of the vitae is to highlight the strength of instruction that will be provided through the

Mote-USFSM partnership. USFSM faculty and Mote scientists will be working in a coordinated

fashion, creating a collaborative learning environment for students that is typically reserved for

graduate students: small-lab and field-focused classes taught by active researchers with

opportunities for involvement in national and international research projects.

D. Provide evidence that the academic unit(s) associated with this new degree have

been productive in teaching, research, and service. Such evidence may include

trends over time for average course load, FTE productivity, student HC in

major or service courses, degrees granted, external funding attracted, as well as

qualitative indicators of excellence.

Enrollment in the CAS at USFSM has steadily increased since 2008-2009. The number of

degrees awarded each year has also increased.

Students are given the Major Field Test (MFT) in Biology, developed by the Educational Testing Service (ETS), during the capstone course in their last semester of the undergraduate program. The exam contains 120 multiple-choice questions designed to measure students’ subject knowledge and the ability to apply facts, concepts, theories and analytical methods in the areas of cell biology, molecular biology and genetics, organismal biology, population biology, evolution, and ecology. Test questions are developed by experienced faculty committees in all relevant areas and are revised every five years. ETS assessment experts conduct rigorous test of sensitivity and reliability on each question.

In the required core upper-division biology laboratory courses (Cell Biology, Ecology, Genetics, and General Physiology), students will design independent research projects and write a scientific manuscript that reports their results. This manuscript is externally evaluated for evidence of good research methodology, evidence of effective arguments constructed on sound reasoning, and effective writing by a team of faculty using an agreed-upon scoring rubric. The faculty work with the Office of Institutional Research and Effectiveness to monitor inter-rater reliability.

In the capstone course, Evolution, students will write essays for exams that explore ethical cases and interdisciplinary connections between biology and other subjects. These essays will be evaluated by a team of faculty using an agreed-upon scoring rubric. The faculty work with the Office of Institutional Research and Effectiveness to monitor inter-rater

reliability.

At the end of every semester, Faculty members teaching the senior capstone course and the upper-division required core biology courses (Cell Biology, Genetics, Ecology, and General Physiology) rate students’ degree of competency in each outcome as was demonstrated in the senior capstone on the following scale: (1) Far Below Expectation, (2) Below Expectation, (3) Meets Expectation, (4) Exceeds Expectation.

Students in the senior capstone course and the upper-division required core biology courses (Cell Biology, Genetics, Ecology, and General Physiology) are surveyed about the degree of emphasis that was placed in the major on developing each outcome using the following scale: (1) No attention, (2) Little attention, (3) Some attention, (4) A lot of attention. Students in the senior seminar are surveyed about the degree of improvement they feel they have achieved in each outcome through the courses they took within the major using the following scale: (1) Not Improved, (2) Improved a little, (3) Improved some, (4) Improved a lot.

A. Personal statement The goal of the proposed research is to develop a coupled physical/biogeochemical/atmospheric modeling system to predict human health consequences of the toxic phytoplankton, Karenia brevis.Specifically, we plan to utilize mechanistic models to quantitatively forecast both the trophodynamics of this local harmful algal bloom and its water borne toxicity in the eastern Gulf of Mexico. These coastal models will also be coupled to a "seabreeze" model to predict the transport of the aerosolized toxins to population centers and the subsequent impact on human health. The research team is uniquely qualified to study these processes, as the investigators have extensive experience with HABs, mechanistic modeling, remote sensing, toxicity and human health. Each team member brings a specific skill set, and in many cases, unique tools that will be combined the make up the West Florida Ecological Prediction System. My contribution will be as co-director of the Project with Dr. J. Walsh, and I will manage the Education and Outreach facility core. I will also lead RP3 and assist RP3 PIs as needed to complete the identified specific aims. Finally, I will lead the epidemiology project, working in consultation with Dr. VanSickle. I have over 12 years of experience in epidemiology of Florida red tide under the previous program project (PO1 ES10594).

RESEARCH INTERESTSMy research interests are centred in life history evolution and conservation biology of aquatic vertebrates, with specific interests in how fluctuating environments can influence population dynamics. The approach has two components - (1) development of testable predictions based on life history models, and (2) testing of the predictions with field-collected data by application of modern mathematical and statistical methods. To fulfil these objectives, I maintain active interests in multiple research domains including: conservation ecology, wildlife management, evolutionary ecology, foraging behaviour, resource partitioning, allometry of growth and reproduction, stage-structured population models, bio-chronology, quantitative methods, life history theory, population viability analysis, meta-analysis, risk analysis, mark-recapture methods, migratory species, long-term population dynamics, integrated catchment management, invasive species, stable isotope analysis, satellite telemetry, and adaptive management.

CURRENT RESPONSIBILITIESI manage the Sea Turtle Conservation and Research Program at Mote Marine Laboratory, a non-profit independent research institution. The program coordinates a large community-based conservation effort (350+ volunteers) and seasonal internships for 8-10 biology undergraduates a year. I develop contracts and proposals to support 4 fulltime and several seasonal staff. Lab priorities are the development of positive community support via outreach activities and science communicated to the public and media. STCRP offers significant inputs to state and county policies in coastal resource management since our operations are focused on the highest nesting density of loggerhead turtles in the Gulf of Mexico. We conduct conservation-focused research, offer logistic support to marine science graduate students, and engage in collaborative academic research with regional, national, and international colleagues.
